I'm not quite sure how old this commercial is, but it cracked me up when I saw it this morning. My favorite player in the NBA used to be Brian Scalabrine (for obvious reasons), but I think I'm making the switch after this....

The Brickittititdooooo....Birdman! I don't know about you but that call makes me want to buy a mattress.

It's actually quite current, and I see it enough during Nuggets games (where the announcers, almost always clued in on the jokes, are laughably voracious and intense about how NOBODY BEATS THE KING) that it was particularly jarring to find on ESPN "SportsNation". Incidentally, that kid has been their spokes...boy for years and years, so it's funny to see him suddenly have a comically deep puberty voice, and schooling the Brickittititdooooo Birdman.
